Our fresh water ponds close to the coast burned them down pretty good for both our guided hunts and club groups over the weekend. Pintails, teal, redheads & gadwall filled the straps.

The prairie ponds didn't get off to the start we wanted for our club. The warm temperatures and lack of cold fronts is what hurt the prairie over opening weekend. We have seen what seems to be an influx of new birds on the prairie ponds the first part of this week. We wouldn't call it a migration, but definitely some new birds have arrived on the prairie with this weather change.

The one bonus to the warmer temps is the fishing has stayed great. Multiple groups have taken advantage of doing cast and blast with us and had a great time.

Over half our day hunting ponds haven't even been hunted yet and the ones that have are already starting to stack back up with birds. Things are looking really good for the back half of this week and the weekend as we are coming up on another full moon. We expect a big push of birds around this full moon, both ducks and geese.
